One big thing we need before R1 is an option for "automatic partitioning".
Linux (minus Arch) doesn't really expose a need for folks to understand
partitioning anymore, so expecting users to know gpt vs mbr, active
partitions,
etc. is likely too much now-a-days. (it's a common complaint during video
reviews)
We need an automatic partitioning tool in the installation media wedged
between
the installer, and the "manual" disk partitioner.
"Before Haiku can be installed to this system, you'll need to setup the
disks"
"Guided Partitioning" "Manual Partitioning"
^^^ DriveSetupGuided? ^^^ DriveSetup
Unless we want to add a "Guided" feature to DriveSetup itself..
DriveSetup --guided /dev/disk/scsi/...
Here's a start...
